I wrote a go program (19x19) recently but never got a chance
to play with others. Because I don't know how to do it. Is
there anybody can give me some help? Thanks a lot!
Check out GTP at http://www.lysator.liu.se/~gunnar/gtp. It
is supported by less programs than GMP yet, but it is much
easier to implement and it will give you more than a way to
play against other programs. GTP is supported by GNU Go and
some other programs (still can't memorize by which ;). It
is also possible to find an implementation you can plug
directly into your program without any real coding (depends
on your programming language and license terms).
But can GTP actually be used to communicate between two programs? Its
documentation is remarkably silent on this. If it can be used to do
this, what kind of physical connection does it require between the two
computers?
